2015 proved to be a busy year for the Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department, however, not as busy as the year before. The Department showed a 3.4% reduction in total unit responses compared to 2014. The Department also responded to about 2000 fewer incidents compared to 2014.

The Department recorded 3 civilian residential fire fatalities of accidental origin. We suffered 5 in 2015 and 13 in 2014. We responded to more and more incidents where occupants described their smoke alarm alerting them to the fire and escaping safely.

Tragically firefighters will find pets that have been injured in home fires. Sometimes owners are not availiable to bring their pet to a emergency vet or may not have the resources to afford medical care. The Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department and the Anne Arundel County SPCA have teamed up and created a fund whereas medical care for the pet would be covered in part or in full.
